OLED TV - Organic LED TV
The technology that drives an Organic LCD TV is OLED, Organic Light Emitting Diode. This in itself is based on light emitting polymer technology. An OLED TV, or OLCD TV is simply one with a light emitting diode, LED. The TV usually contains a polymer substance that allows suitable organic compounds to be deposited. They are deposited in rows and columns onto a flat carrier by a simple 'printing' process. The resulting matrix of pixels can emit light of different colors.
OLED TV Features:
- Better contrast, sharper images and more vibrant colours
- Thinner screens, smaller size and very lightweight
- Much faster response times, measured in microseconds rather than milliseconds
- Lower power consumption than equivalent LCD
- Eco friendly
- Higher contrast ratios, greater than 1000:1
- Wide viewing angle: 170 degrees
- Broad operating temperature range: -40C to +70C
OLED v OLCD
So what's the difference between OLED and OLCD? OLCD, Organic Liquid Crystal Display and OLED, Organic Light Emitting Diode are similiar but not the same.
An OLED device gives off light whereas an OLCD simply gates light from another source. Alternatively, an OLED is hit by electricity and produces light. This is effectively the opposite of a solar cell, which is hit by light and produces electricity.
